Our Services
Pregnancy & Postpartum Massage
A Healer’s Hand has specialized in prenatal & postpartum massage therapy since 2007 and has been nominated “Best in Madison” multiple times for its prenatal & postpartum massage. We believe pain during pregnancy is common, but is not “normal” and does not need to be inevitable. “Pain-free” pregnancy is gained by regular prenatal massage sessions throughout pregnancy following 12 weeks or the 1st trimester with certified prenatal massage therapists specially trained to relieve low back, neck, and sciatic pain. Postpartum Massage is critical in bringing the body, its muscles, and fascia (hips & pelvic girdle) back from the effects of pregnancy. A postpartum massage is recommended 6-8 weeks post-birth. Through emotional support and caring touch, our therapists will assist you in experiencing the joys and fulfillment of a pain-free pregnancy and ensure postpartum recovery.
Therapeutic Massage Services
Find relief through therapeutic massage. Therapeutic massage can help heal musculoskeletal disorders, back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, general aches and pains, and many other conditions. Therapeutic massage has been proven to lower stress, anxiety, relieve insomnia, and boost the immune system. Stress alone has been shown to be a factor in all major medical conditions. Let our therapists provide a customized therapeutic massage that lowers cortisol levels by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system and reap the benefits of relaxation and wellbeing. We offer several massage modalities at AHH, including Chinese Medical Massage/Tui Na, Acupressure, Fire Cupping, Swedish, Myofascial, Reflexology, Hot Stone, Deep Tissue, and Chair.

Reclaim a strong, pain-free body by working with physical therapy at A Healer’s Hand + The Nest.

Kathleen our PT, has over 20 years of experience and extensive training in pelvic floor physical therapy as well as advanced manual therapy techniques.
Eastern Healing
At A Healer’s Hand we provide several Eastern Healing modalities, including Traditional Chinese Medical Massage (TCM)/Tui Na, Acupressure, Fire Cupping, Reflexology and Reiki. These Eastern Healing modalities are designed to restore balance in the body, which allows the body to heal itself. Reiki, which is a Japanese hands-on healing modality, takes a similar approach and heals a person’s energy on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. Reflexology is ancient healing art that dates back 5000 years to the Egyptians, whereby pressure is applied to the feet, and/or hand reflex areas or zones that correspond to all glands, organs, and bodily systems. This relieves stress, restores natural balance and revitalization.
